Beautiful project! Love the bright colors. I can easily see you doing this in miniature too to create Christmas tree ornaments.

These are fabulous! They'll be so pretty hanging on a tree or the wall.

These color combos really showcase the birds beautifully!

I just tweeted. First time I've done that.
Love the use of the birds. We use Cardinals in this area a lot so I can see changing the colors and adding the cardinals.

Sweet! I love the big brush stampers, the colors are so rich and they are so versatile.

Such an unusual technique and so effective. the birds look fabulous and the colors are amazing. What a reat job.

Great idea! I have a twig branch tree that I decorate for all holidays(my grandsons love it) and these would be a cute way of decorating it! I would have to do it with "inchies" I think, but it would be a fun project!

[sharon gullikson]

Those would look great on my walls. I have quite a few bird decorations...I like your technique--very artsy, but not fartsy :)

[Sue D]

Beautiful holiday decor. I like the outlining with the silver pen.
